SUMMER ROLLERS, All Rollers Guaranteed. GLOBE PRINTERS ROLLER 154 Purchase St, Boston, Mass. VOLUME Co No CHECK SATURDAY, MORNING. MAY 7, 1904 NO 18 Chittenden Clerk 19 HOW ARE THINGS RIGHT AT HOME Advice from "Bill" That's Good and Predictions That May Come True With the budding trees and the arbutus comes the booms and boomlets of aspirants for municipal, town and county office. Vermont, like the rest of the union, and Vermonters, like other types of humanity, both aspire to see the name of the commonwealth with facsimiles of their physiognomy occupying infield positions on the roll of honor in the hall of fame.

Now to talk right out loud, Vermont certainly has no kick due to appear relative to recognition 111 national affairs, from gravestone contracts to soft snaps. Of course there are quite a few who are waiting, myself among the rest, but 'twas ever thus, there always has to be a second table. Lest I stray from my subject which for today will be: "How are things at home," I'll get into line with this argument. Unless petty politics are cut out Vermont won't show her usual strength on the presidental end of the game. It is perfectly proper to go in tor town and municipal reform, but when you try such a game as trading votes with a weak opponent you have got to have the sagacity of Russell Sage avert disaster.

you trade votes between the sheriff and the states attorney you will elect two grafters, whereas if you put up a fight for both offices and lose one you can rely on the fellow chosen to tend strictly to business. You'll have a tour flush combination if you trade off the side judge's scalp for assistance toward electing a county clerk or judge of probate. Stay on the firing line and pass the ammunition to the enemy. How are things at home? Get out among the people and in doing this don't go at it as though you were capping a shell game. Be frank.

Talking about virtue in politics, business or love, let me tell you that if you are frank and your fellow man can not discern double dealing between the lines in your conversation and actions you are scheduled as a winner. Hypocrites are the parents, of thieves and liars. There are Vermont, too. Watch them and when you are sure of your man get into him. Put him to the underbrush.

It was this type that advocated hibition. It was the same crowd that enacted a law making the penalty murder in Vermont hanging and then Heard and Observed. By the The Weekly Gazette How we love the little paper e'er so modest and so meet As it comes its lengthy journey from the country every week; From the good old town behind us that we left so long ago. When the city fever becked us with its artificial glow. Oh, the news is never startling, and the pictures are but few, And it's crowded with stock matter, and the type is never new; But it hrings an old time feeling as we turn its pages o'er, Reading here and there of neighbors, as we've often read before- "John Smith has gone to Meadowbrook To see his brother Marvin's hired the Peckham place On top Barton's of Miller's fixed his cider press." "Ben Holmes has bought a cow." "Hamp Culver'a going to paint his barn," "It's time to hay it Sanders' boy has cut his foot." "The wells are getting dry." "The price of eggs has dropped a cent But butter still is high." "A "Bill drummer Brown came has to sold town his "Ice cream at Baker's corner store, It's cooling to be there." Yes, we love the little paper, it's so brimming full of news, And we tear the pasted wrapper, we're so eager to peruse; And we settle by the fireside while the world goes rushing on, And devote an hour to reading, which is all too gone.

And we look across the distanee from the city to the town, And we sigh and brush a tear drop as we lay the paper down; For we're carried back to school days, and to good old days of yore, When we read these simple items, as we've often read before: band will meet on Friday night."

Jan 02 voted to pardon every degenerate wretch who robbed a mortal of his life. How are things at home? Look out for the hypocrite when you settle on a lad to go to the next general assembly.

Wnen you find a man who says that he proposes to do things if sent Montpelier, to do things that amount to something, to enact a caucus law for instance, to remodel the license law, to pass statutes that are needed, to make laws akin to those in vogue in other civilized sections of the world, to provide for the investigations of fires when of apparently incendiary origin, to provide for a rigid investigation when men and women die under suspicious circumstances, when you find such a party don't weigh him in comparison with the, duck that refuses to make any promises and says he'll do what he thinks best after he gets there. The latter type is a hypocrite. man won't do anything but his constituents. Beware of this fringe of humanity. They are the left overs of the "old Vermont." DeBoer for governor means a man of the new dispensation.

Give him a general assembly of men with ideas. He is a man with an idea and above ail things abhors grandstand players. He is not one himself. He does not hanker after the job of being governor of Vermont and he is perfectly frank in saying so. His business demands the bulk of his attention but the new idea that prevails will prevail upon this brilliant, polished, reserved man of business and for the first time in the history of Vermont there will be a shut-out for the cheap ones.

The appointments that De Boer would make, it elected governor, will be the kind of men that do things, men that Mr. DeBoer has the assurance are capable of performing the duties assigned them. A political pull won't amount to a tinker's dam with the DeBoer administration. If you have business capacity and the other lad a pull you will get the appointment, provided of course DeBoer should be the next governor of Vermont. Now, don't get frothy round the gills.

DeBoer has not got to make pledges. The party has got to make the promises to Mr D. It doesn't relish doing so, but to save the scalp of men of smaller calibre who have future aspirations the party will go down on its knees and DeBoer, the man with ideas, will be elected. Stick to your flannels a day or SO longer. Two DOLLAR BILL.

where is found the material, like marble, granite and wood manufacturing. But Hyde Park or the territory round about has never been noted as a beef raising section and consequently the hide business is no more fitted for that territory than it would be on the islands of the lake. Then, to the personality of the man, is due the building of one of Vermont's greatest industries. Thousands of capital are invested, millions of business done annually. And I wish here to remark, that a man who can build an enterprise like the hide business of Hyde Park is worthy of most anything in this world's goods, and surely worthy of the respect and admiration of his fellow men.

I am reminded of a little story I heard some time ago concerning the governor. He was about 15 years oid and had had considerable experience in the store of his father, who sent out peddlers' carts all over this section in the late fifties and early sixties. The elder Page had made his purchases mostly by correspondence with the wholesalers of the cities, but he conceived the idea of going to market and he sent the son. The boy wasn't reluctant to go. In fact he evidenced considerable interest in getting to the big marts of trade and Boston was his first place to visit.

At that time Horace Partridge was doing business on Hanover st and the establishment was extensive even at that time. Young Page landed in Boston and visited the Partridge store with memoranda of what was wanted at Hyde Park and for the peddling trade. He was introduced to Mr Partridge, a business man from his toes up. In those days the ladies wore a hoop 11 their skirts made.of rattan 'and young Page had on his memoranda this article. "What is the price," asked the future governor.

Mr Partridge, evidently amused and somewhat in doubt about the boy's knowledge of things, named a price not more than half the actual value. "How many have you," was young Page's inquiry. "We'll look at 'em," was Mr Partridge's response. They did look at them and there was a good sized room pretty well filled, enough to put a row of hoops into every lady's skirt from Boston to the Canadian line. "I'll take them all," said the old IGHTNING state again.

has struck Vermonters the -grand don't have to die before they go "to the good place-they are drafted to Washington as fast as the dead 'uns step down. Judge Wendell P. Stafford of the Vermont supreme court is the latest selection by the powers that be and he will grace the bench in the supreme court of the District of Columbia and raise its standard, too. The glory of receiving and the glory of giving are about equal. Judge Stafford's personality will lend Lomething Washington as well as Washington will bestow something on him.

Hon George M. Powers, now reporter of the Vermont supreme court, is mentioned more strongly than any other man as Judge Stafford's successor and up to date this office has no objestion to this appointment and sees 110 reason why it should not congratulate Judge Powers on being selected.

"That won't bother you, Mr Partridge." said the boy, and the rattans, nearly a car load, were shipped to Hyde Park. I failed to find a single rattan the day I went over the governor's hide plant, which was only a short while ago.

Suspected Murderers Held Hollis Heath and Willard Ainsworth of Worcester have been held for the September grand jury without bail, charged with the murder of Charles McLane on March ,12, It will be remembered that the body of McLane was found beneath a bed in the house where he lived alone on the morning of March 14. There were wounds on the head, McLane had accused Heath and Ainsworth of stealing his farming tools and it is alleged, a quarrel followed. Test Case Against Mail Carrier P. H. Ryan of Fairfax has brought suit carrier against William Barkyoumb, mail on rural free delivery route No 2, for damage for cutting wire fences and passing across his premises when the highway was rendered impassable by drifts last winter.

Other carriers are awaiting the outcome. THE friends of Henry Ballard have given his candidacy for the lieutenant governorship a push that gathers momentum as it rolls along. Such spontaneity means success under ordinary circumstances, but it should be taken into consideration that this is not the average or the ordinary year. Henry's boom may receive a bump, and that's just why his advocates should not get sleepy. It may not be recalled by many that when Gov Page was asked to appoint a man to succeed Senator Edmunds Mr Ballard was one of the men considered for the office and that the governor received more letter endorsements of Mr Ballard than did the other men under consideration.

It wouldn't be strange, after what has happened, if the governor has had moments when he wished he had named Mr Ballard for United States senator! history occupies considerable space in our papers this week. The remarkable number of graduates who have figured in the history of this country's building and military annals awakens a feeling of amazement that so much has come from such small beginnings. The reading of this article ought to stir the strings of generosity to a large extent towards the institution. The cuts illustrating the story were kindly loaned by W. A.

Ellis, librarian of the university, and the story itself was first produced in that bright little piece of Vermont enterprise, F. E. Sheldon's "Expansion." The unterrified of the state will in convention assemble in Burlington June 23, principally to nominate state officers and delegates to the national democratic convention. The choosing of a governor candidate is quite as perplexing to the democracy as it is to the republicans, but with the former the result in September is certain.

Goodrich, a successful farmer of Westford, died suddenly while eating supper at his home Sunday afternoon. Heart failure was the cause.

His wife died three years ago. Seven children survive, as follows: Forest and Mrs H. Safford of Fairfax. Fayette J. of Westford, Oliver H.

W. and Mrs Crockett in Champlain on the afternoon and evening of April 25 to celebrate the golden anniversary of their wedding. The afternoon was passed with music, reminiscences of 50 years ago by the bride and groom, the reading of letters of kindly greeting received from absent friends, a pleasant address, the reading of poems appropriate to the occasion and words of prayer by the pastor, Rev J. T.

Cake and coffee were served and the company broke up in the "new sma' hours, wishing their host and hostess many IMPROVED MAIL SERVICE Prospects of Additional Mails Between Vermont and the East There is a fair prospect of an additional mail service being established between St. Albans and Springfield, Mass. on trains No's 2 and 5 as St.

Albans at a. arriving at Springfield at 6:20 p. m. Leaving Springfield at 12:37 p. arriving at St.

Albans at 8:05 p. m. This additional service will be one of the very best, having very important connections at Springfield for dispatching and receiving, giving the people of this section of Vermont excellent service for all Southern and Western mail as well as important local service. The large accumulation of mail at Springfield at that time of day necessitates an outlet for dispatching the same. The above proposed service will successfully fill the bill, and should a petition be presented, it is earnestly hoped that business men as well as the public generally will give it their hearty support as this additional service cannot but be of accommodation to all.

Supt Crandall Retained Superintendent Crandall, whose 17 years at the head of Burlington's water department, has made him an invaluable member of the Queen city's official family, has been re-elected. In view of the democratic tendencies of the new city government it was feared his head might come under the knife, too, but the commissioners voted right at their meeting Monday. Herald Stevens, superintendent of streets for 17 years, was also reappointed. Soldiers Escape from the Guardhouse Six soldiers confined in the guardhouse at Fort Ethan Allen escaped between midnight and morning Thursday, doing the trick by sawing the bars of the window.

The bars were two inches thick and the man or men must have worked on them some time. The sentry found the break at 4 pm and aroused the authorities.
